I might be overlooking something, but, I don't see anything on the libvirt site about it. Does libvirt support connecting to a remote hypervisor, if so, how?

Unfortunately this isn't supported. At this time, XenD does not provide a secure mechanism for connecting to it remotely. While you can have XenD listen for TCP connections, however, there are *zero* security checks made / authorization performed. It is not tenable to support such an insecure connection mechanism via libvirt. The good news is that the upstream Xen developers are aware that this is a big problem, and in the XML-RPC protocol being developed for XenD, it appears there will at least be some form of username/password authentication used for remote TCP connections. Thus when the XML-RPC API for XenD is released we will be able to more seriously look at allowing remote hypervisor connections from libvirt. Regards.
